I didn't want to tell her we were going with a different service because I knew that would set off the offers and the badmouthing of the new company. I just told her we were no longer going to watch TV.

I didn't even realize that you could get HRTV with Verizon Fios. For years you had to have Dish Networks to get HRTV. I might have to look into getting Verizon Fios.

I have Time Warner Digitial Cable right now. Do any of you have an opinion as to which is better between Time Warner and Verizon Fios? Having HRTV would certainly be a plus.

I don't have a problem with them. It might be because I can read.

I've had Time Warner for years. They have been great. You have to subscribe to hrtvlive.com on the web if you want it.

The best thing is to be a "free agent". I had some troubles early on, but once I was out of my contract I had more leverage.
